Dynamics in the international market segmentation of new product growth

Abstract: Prior international segmentation studies have been static in that they have identified segments that remain stable over time. This paper shows that country segments in new product growth are intrinsically dynamic. We propose a semiparametric hidden Markov model to dynamically segment countries based on the observed penetration pattern of new product categories. This methodology allows countries to switch between segments over the life cycle of the new product, with time-varying transition probabilities. Our ap… Show more

“…The modern approaches to the analysis of economic dynamics (Lemmens, Croux and Stremersch, 2012) require applying efficient tools, which would not be limited to detecting common regularities and correlations and would provide the researcher with the opportunity to detect also the "latent trends". This would allow to solve problems related to usage of the analysis results at planning and forecasting more efficiently, thus minimizing alternative losses of market players.…”

“…2) General values are terminal or ultimate values sought after throughout a customer's lifetime. [26] Lemmens (2012) [27] segmentation does not explain specific information on products but does explain long-term customer behavior. By contrast, the second type of market segmentation is specific segmentation, which is directly related to products or services, such as instrumental value, benefit, and usage pattern, which are the main variables that can be used as segmentation bases [13], [20].…”

“…However, if these approaches use only one or two factors as segmentation bases, it is hard to provide sufficient information on a competitive market environment. Regarding these weak points, researchers have attempted more sophisticated approaches that can give more detailed and abundant information on markets and customers by combining certain bases (for example, values, benefits, lifestyles, and attitudes) over time [13], [23]- [27], [29]. However, this approach has some limitations because it is not actually a systematic method in that it only technically combines several segmentation bases with less consideration of each causal relation in view of customer behavioral studies.…”

“…In the context of the task of predicting the outflow of customers, the discovery of patterns that describe stable trajectories of consumer movement between clusters is one of the most important areas of research. For this, various dynamic models based on pattern identification with such methods as clustering [10,11], association rules [12], and hidden Markov models [13] are used.…”
